Psychosocial Assistance Without Borders

Islamabad
Today at 8am Siddharth began by teaching a hatha yoga class in Islamabad. Two people came on time. We got started with Suryanamaskar, about 5 of them; and then we sat in meditation. After a body scan revealing whether we should work on upper body opening (upper back, shoulders, neck) or lower body (lower back, hips, thighs), we got into a routine designed to bring focal relief and teach body awareness. This caught the imagination of the group that had since gathered. We were up to about 10 people, more than our small room could accommodate. People basically took turns using the same space to stretch out. As is often said among desis, “you have to adjust.”
